Major Crypto Player Transak Hit by Data Breach: Here’s What You Need to Know
Transak, a key player in the crypto space, just got hacked, and yeah, it’s kinda wild. They confirmed a data breach affecting around 93,000 users, spilling some basic info. But a ransomware group claims they snagged way more sensitive stuff—think selfies and ID cards. This has everyone on alert!
No Financial Info Compromised – But Still Serious
The good news? No bank details, credit card info, or social security numbers were leaked, so your cash is safe… for now. However, the hackers are still threatening to drop the full deets if Transak doesn’t cough up some dough. Cyber drama much?
Transak's CEO Shares What Went Down with Security
In a candid chat, Transak’s CEO said an employee strayed from their work laptop duties, opening a door for hackers. That slip-up led to a vulnerability in one of their KYC (know-your-customer) services being exploited. Lesson learned: Stay focused, folks!
Ransomware Groups Are Still a Major Threat
Ransomware threats are no joke! These guys are getting bold, claiming they’ve got 300GB of data ready to sell unless Transak pays up. It’s a harsh reminder of how crucial cybersecurity is in our digital world.
